The recently manufactured aluminium structure for the RITA Payload, ready for the fit-checks and treatment to make it space-ready!

NanoSat Lab students are presenting our activities in the Mobile World Congress (MWC Barcelona 2021) from today until July 1st. Take a look and learn about our projects and missions!

This is the integration and testing of the multispectral camera for the RITA project conducted in the NanoSat Lab. The purpose of the project is to design and manufacture a payload to be integrated into a 3-unit cubesat for the 2nd Grand Student Challenge, organized by the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS)

One of the experiments in this payload is a multispectral camera able to sense images in multiple bands from red (~600nm) to Near Infrared (~900nm). These images will be used for several scientific purposes: measure vegetation indices over land, detect algae blooms or oil spills over oceans.

During these days, the work of our engineers here is to communicate with the camera and test the optical lenses, that are fixed using an aluminum structure designed by our mechanical engineer. For the moment, a 3D printed model is being used to check the proper fitting of everything.

Note that the size of the whole structure in the picture must fit within a "unit" of a cubesat, i. e. a box of 10 cm edge, and weight must be less than a kilogram (remember that every kilogram sent to space cost A LOT of money). So the challenge is to fit as much as possible in the minimum space possible, keeping a high-quality performance.

Vols participar en el disseny i fabricació de missions espacials? T'agrada l'espai i vols conèixer millor com funcionen els satèl·lits?

Demà a les 19:30 comença la visita virtual al NanoSat Lab de la UPC amb l'Adriano Camps. Connecta't al canal de YouTube del IEEC per descobrir com dissenyem, fabriquem i testem els nostres nanosatèl·lits i com són les missions d'observació de la Terra que es duen a terme a l'espai.

The mission was launched just one week ago, and now the UPC team is working on the commissioning of the 3Cat-5/A high-speed S-band downlink from the UPC/IEEC Montsec Ground Station. In the image, we can see the satellite signal with enough margin to be decoded (>15 dB!) and the "constellation diagram", showing that the bits of the signal are correctly decoded by the receiver.

mission is ready to be launched onboard a rocket which will put in orbit two satellites developed by the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). Both nanosatellites are 6U cubesats that aim to prove the potential of Earth Observation in small satellites, especially respect Polar Ice thickness and soil moisture measurements.

The launch was scheduled for last Friday, Jun 19th, but it has been delayed at least until tonight Sunday 28th at 3:51 CEST, from ESA launch complex in Kourou (French Guiana). The Vega rocket will put in orbit 53 small satellites (including the two of FSSCat), in a new configuration to test the launch of many small and nanosatellites at once.

The first of the FSSCat satellites includes the Flexible Microwave Payload-2 (FMPL-2), which is a microwave radiometer and GNSS-R receiver, that would mainly measure ice thickness over polar regions. The second one integrates a hyperspectral camera (Hyperscout-2) in visible and infrared bands.

And finally, RF inter-satellite communications will be tested between both satellites, which are federated into a single network, providing cooperation between them to better investigate high resolution by data fusion between hyperspectral and thermal, soil moisture, urban heat, oil spills, fire monitoring, and water quality. Also, the integration of both instruments will allow the test of a technique called pixel-downscaling.

The satellites also integrate the mission Φ-Sat-1 ( ), which is the first ESA initiative on Artificial Intelligence (AI) that is designed to implement cloud detection and filtering to the data generated by the Hyperscout camera.

Today FossaSys is talking in the SSSIForum about and the integration of the mission in our facilities at using the .space PicoBus deployer.
